Chan Langaret is a doctoral researcher in socio-anthropology at Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense University, integrated to the Laboratoire d’Anthropologie des Institutions et des Organisations Sociales (LAIOS-IIAC). He is also the SOGIP team’s coordinator/manager and research assistant. Chan’s doctoral research focuses on actors in France, exploring the links and the differences that exist between the actor as an individual and the characters to which he/she gives life, on the fictional stage and on the social and public stages. The socio-anthropological methodology allows for the analysis of these sociocultural phenomena as they are socially defined within/by the collective, but also as they are anthropologically experienced by the individuals concerned. Chan also teaches sociology and anthropology at Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense University (since 2004), and at the Saint-Denis and Paris CNAM centres (since 2011).
